nightshade
Garden Ornament
okay so here is the thing, I am in zone 5 in NEPA and here is my problem. Where our new homestead ( the house portion) is going is a recently clear cut timbered 2 acres or so. I want to make the yard and area surrounding my chicken coop fit in with the rest of the property which is still for the most part wood land. I am having a very hard time designing and laying out planting arrangements that seem to coincide with the wooded area but still bring color and scent to the area. I have already purchased 2 crab apples and am getting 15 Shadblow Serviceberry trees from the local ag/ conservation office next month but I have no idea what to do around them. And I am looking to do more then just hostas here lol, but I have no idea how to do it. If you have pics of your woodland gardens or info on web pages where I can find so pics to get ideas from that you can share that would be great!
